    If you have a Mac or PC with a Firewire 800 connection, and a device with a Firewire 400 connection, buy this cable. It works just fine as advertised, and appears rugged, thick, and sturdy.

    However, another reviewer claims the connectors are too small, and that the cable sits loosely in his plugs. I have not had that experience with my iMac or my Maxtor external HDD. However, he has also pointed out that the stiffness of the cable combined with those loose-fitting connectors make it easy to tap the cable and for it to come unseated. This may be a concern for some, but I simply have my backup HDD sitting on my desk next to my iMac and connected with this cable, and I've never had a problem with a cable coming loose. It's my Time Machine HDD so it gets used all the time, and it's worked just fine.

    I bought this cord to connect a new 1TB WD external drive to my old Mac G5 tower--I needed to go from Firewire 800 (the WD drive) to 400 (the Mac). (The drive, of course, operates at the slower speed but when if I want to use it on a computer with Firewire 800, all I have to do is upgrade the cord.) This cord works perfectly and I'm glad it's 6' long because it gives me enough room to move it away from my work area a bit and clear up some desk space. I now have five external drives going on my desk and it's getting a little bit nuts with cords, so having one that's this long really is quite helpful.

    I know nothing of the technical quality of cords, but this works, it's like half the price (or less) than other brands and I can think of other things I'd rather spend the money on than cords.

    I bought this cable to connect a Drobo FW800 to an iMac G5 FW400. It has been working fine, although the fit is a bit loose on the FW800 end. As long as I don't move the Drobo, it's fine, but it's essential that the Drobo be unmounted before pulling it out from its shelf. It will leave the FW cable behind every time, even though it has plenty of slack. Other than this minor annoyance, I'm very happy with the cable and I'd buy another, especially at this price.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014

    This too was purchased specifically for recording purposes. This cable is a must have for those using firewire based sound cards. Most firewire based sound cards utilize the slower Firewire 400 connection. Using this cable, we were able to simple connect the firewire 400 end to our soundcards; then connect to the firewire 800 port on our MacPro; and we immediately had access to twice the bandwith, which we needed to capture more simultaneous live audio channels. Latency which was already low was less, and a slight hum which was only noticeable during capture (not in playback) totally dissappeared! We had previously maxed out our bandwidth at 24 channels using the previous firewire 400. Recording had to be stopped and started once or twice before we could give an okay to begin as the limited bandwidth could cause a bottleneck that would caused audio to be out of sync if not given the consistent attention required at the beginning of the recording. With these new cables, we now have a very consistent 32 channel setup, with no hickups, no hums. The glass ceiling has been broken. We hope to upgrade to a 48 channel live audio setup in the near future, in which case we would need another 4 of these!

    This is working out really great so far. It's a little long, but it's better for it to be too long, rather than too short. At least this way I know I have some slack if I need it.

    This cable definitely works better than the one that came with my external hard drive, and if anything happens to this one, I'll buy the same one again.

    I think the person complaining of the plastic head getting stuck in their hard drive might have pulled it out a weird way, because I haven't had a problem yet, and I've been using this for a while now. Or, maybe theirs was defective? Or, maybe mine is somehow oddly more durable? Who knows. :)

    No problems with shipping or the product. Works like a cable should. I use it to connect my mac mini to imacs at the school to use it as a monitor for my mac mini. If anyone wants to know, you have to turn the imac and macmini/other computer both off. Turn on the macmini/other computer, turn on while holding F key for about 20 seconds to make it run in disk mode. Then turn on imac while holding the option key till you see a menu to use the mac mini as a bootable hard drive. Then it makes the imac run itself but using the mac mini as the hard drive. Works great!
